Deck Designs in Baltimore

Diamond Decks has been in the deck building business for more than 20 years. In that time, we’ve learned that the best decks—the ones that fit beautifully into their settings and provide the most functionality for homeowners—are custom-designed.

Deck Design Process

Diamond Decks designs your deck from the ground up with your needs in mind. We use a 3D modeling program to lay out your new deck, creating a realistic, high-resolution image of what the deck will look like. This 3D model is at the proper elevation, includes the materials we plan to use, and even includes an approximate layout of the back of your Baltimore home—meaning you can see exactly how your new deck will look in its setting.

Here’s an example of a “before” home:

After consulting with the homeowner and visiting the site, we were able to construct a 3D model of the home and of the deck that the homeowners dreamed of. Simulating the way the finished deck would look on the back of the house allowed the homeowners to truly see it, instead of just having to imagine or rely on pencil-and-paper drawings.

The finished deck reflected not only the layout of the model, but the wood used. Our software allows us to precisely edit the colors and grains of the woods we’ll eventually use to construct your deck, creating a strong sense of realism.

But building a custom deck is about more than 3D modeling. It’s also about listening. Other deck companies have cookie-cutter projects that they try to pigeonhole every customer into. Regardless of your actual needs, these builders aim to create the easiest and most inexpensive-to-construct deck they can.

Let’s take a look at another progression. These homeowners were interested in a bold dark wood and metal rails.

With a bold design choice like this one, it was good to get an idea of how the colors would work together in the finished product.

The homeowners were very pleased with the finished product:

Deck Design in Baltimore by Diamond Decks

At Diamond Decks, our initial planning meetings with you are the most important phases of the design. These meetings are where we learn about what you want, and how you plan to use your new deck. And unlike other companies, we use this information to plan and design each and every one of our decks.

For example, if you have children, we’ll use child-safe materials and design railings to take kids into account. If you’re thinking of eventually converting the deck into a screened-in porch, we will design and build it with this future use in mind.

"My wife and I are very pleased with our recent experience with Diamond Decks. Our interaction with everyone from the company was great from the schedulers on the phone to the men who did the work.
